Hello.
I even asked A.I. about this issues and cannot resolve this problem
ive had since yesterday...
ive been working on a script for a week or so.. - Scheduled task /
cron job. But if i activate manually, i see output to screen.
At the end of one script, I include a new php file and activate a function..
include_once ("INS_NwSQL.php");
echo "GO TO do_new_scan()<br />\n";
flush();
do_new_scan();
sleep(2); // optional short delay between rounds
Everthings working fine, but the all of a sudden - my new function
will not work (no output to screen, No log files saved - just blnk -
NO HTML output at all..
On my screen, i do see the output of:- echo "GO TO do_new_scan()<br />\n";
However NOTHING after then..
Ive gone through php code validators - no errors,
ive got this in my new / second file (just immediately after the
function activates)
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$t=date("Ymd");
$path =$GLOBALS["BASEPATH"]."/logs/GB_ERROR-$t.txt";
ini_set('display_errors', 1); ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
ini_set('error_log',$path); //override php's default error log directory
has anyone got ideas as to force some output (or errors) to the screen
/ log file ?

Looking at the browser debugger, what is the status of the page?
Are there errors in the log?
I am wondering if there is a server error.

headers are Ok.
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date Fri, 16 May 2025 15:30:39 GMT
Content-Type text/html; charset=UTF-8
Content-Length 27
Connection keep-alive
Server Apache
X-Powered-By PHP/7.4.10
as i do see this on my screen:- GOT HERE 1 - GB_scan<br />
(thats from the 1st script - immediately before calling 2nd script...)
2nd script WAS working, as i saw results - its only since yesterday
that its bank.
- NO results on-screen (I should have 30-50KB in output)
- No errors recorded in my logs (normal output logs, and error logs -
output logs should be 50-100KB)
- not even any logs created (1 byte)
Ive checked the server logs & do see errors in another script - from 5
days ago (already fixed)
Nothing after 12th May - or regarding the script im working on.

I copied the code to a backup file-name.
deleted the original file & then copied short sections of code to the
original file, test, copy, test etc..
Ive now got working code - all is Ok but still dont know why it was
blank/result...
i asked AI to compare the files & apparently there was a rogue exit
command (but this apparently didnt trigger the shutdown routine -
register_shutdown_function('shutdownINS_MYSQL') )
(Wonder why AI didnt find the rogue exit before 
)

Hi Gordon,
Hope you are well …
It’s just a hunch from having been bitten by empty responses in Apache/PHP scripts before … In my experience, any whitespace outside of PHP code is treated as the beginning of HTML output and so it will interrupt execution of PHP further down …
I may be reading incorrectly but could there be a space character before the include_once()? (Or perhaps diffing against the most recent working copy for any whitespace changes will reveal something …)
Hope you find a solution soon 
Patty

I solved my issue a few days ago (I thought I replied to this thread..)
i dont know what the problem was, but basically.
- renamed old code (problem) to (name).bak.php - backup file..
did a new file of original name - copy/pasting the routines one at a
time.. & the 'new' script worked...
dont know why original one didn't
